This made Han Bin very unhappy. He was unhappy that the two of them wouldn't have a good life after they went in. Someone would take good care of them.
As for the barbecue shop and the company behind it, they wouldn't have a good life either.
All of the company's branches in Qingdao would have to close down.
Of course, these were all off-topic. The investigation of the case still had to continue.
The forensics and technology department had also finished their work. Han Bin called them to the side to talk.
Han Bin went straight to the point. "Forensics Li, did the deceased die from poison?"
Li Can said, "The time between the onset of the disease and the death of the deceased was very short. Assuming that the deceased died from a disease, there are only a few diseases that can kill so quickly. However, I did a preliminary test on the deceased and didn't find any related complications, so I'm more inclined to believe that the deceased died from poison. As for what kind of poison it was, further testing is still needed.
Also, I found a few bruises on the deceased's chest and legs. The time of injury can't be too long. It should be within a week. "
"Are the injuries serious?"
Li Can said, "It's not serious, but it's not light either."
Han Bin nodded and looked at Ma Xiwen. "Did the technology department find anything?"
"The situation at the scene is more complicated and there are more people involved. No poison has been found for the time being. We've already collected the physical evidence at the scene and will bring it back to the Municipal Bureau for further testing."
Han Bin said, "Brother Ma, can the technology department work overtime tonight and get the test results as soon as possible?"
Ma Xiwen smiled bitterly. "Alright, we're used to it anyway."
"Thank you."
The technology department and forensic science department couldn't provide any more clues for the time being, and the investigation of the case was at a stalemate.
The people involved in the case had already finished their statements, so Han Bin was ready to let them leave and seal off the scene.
The customers in the restaurant left one after another, including Wang Ting and Huang Qianqian.
Ma Xiaolin started to make a fuss. "What are you guys doing? They can leave, so why can't you let me go?"
"Ms. Ma, we would like to invite you back to the police station to assist in the investigation."
"What am I supposed to investigate? My husband is dead, and you still want to investigate me? Are you trying to use me as a scapegoat because you can't catch the murderer? "
Han Bin walked over and asked, "What are you shouting for?"
"Captain Han, you came at the right time. You police have to be reasonable. What did I do? Why did you arrest me?"
"We're not here to arrest you. We're here to invite you back to assist in our investigation."
"Is there a difference? I'm not stupid. "
"Are you stupid? Tell me, how did Chen Zihe die? "
"Didn't you say he was poisoned?"
"Let's say he was poisoned to death in this restaurant. You ate the same food as him, so why are you fine when he was poisoned?"
Ma Xiaolin shouted, "How would I know?"
"Use your brain."
"We didn't eat the same thing. He drank beer, but I didn't."
"That's the question. Who brought the beer?"
"I …"
"Then shouldn't we invite you back to assist in the investigation?"
Ma Xiaolin scowled miserably. "But I'm really innocent."
"I'm also willing to believe that you're innocent, but you still have to go through the necessary procedures. Only then can you prove your innocence."
Ma Xiaolin was at a loss. After a while, she said, "Alright then, I'll go. Anyway, I'm not afraid of being accused."
"Ms. Ma, I promise you that we'll clear your name as soon as possible."
"I also hope that you can catch the murderer who killed my husband as soon as possible."
"We'll do our best. Also, I have something else to ask you."
"What is it?"
"Has Chen Zihe had any conflicts with anyone recently?"
Ma Xiaolin wiped the tears off her face. "You're talking about the bruises on his body, right?"
"Do you know what happened?"
"We're together every day. How could I not know?"
"How did he get hurt?"
"A few days ago, he went out for a drink and accidentally fell down. He was injured."
Han Bin did not believe this. As a forensic doctor, how could Li Can not tell the difference between a fall and a beating?
"Were you there at the time?"
"I didn't have the time to go out to drink with him. When I was washing his clothes, I saw the bruises on his body. That's why he told me."
"Which day exactly did it happen?"
"I think it was … April 30th."
"Are you sure that he drank that night?"
"Yes, he reeked of alcohol and he often drinks. What's there to lie about?"
"Who did he drink with?"
"He just said that it was a buddy's treat. I didn't ask who it was." Ma Xiaolin glanced at Song Hongmian. "Why don't you ask Chen Zihe's mother? She's more nosy than I am."
"Do you think she knows who Chen Zihe drank with?"
"If she knew that Chen Zihe was going out to drink, she would definitely ask."
"I got it." Han Bin then waved his hand and gestured for someone to take Ma Xiaolin away.
After that, Han Bin looked for Song Hongmian. "Ms. Song, we found some bruises on Chen Zihe's body. Do you know what happened?"
"Bruises? When did it happen? I didn't hear him mention it. "
"April 30th. He went out to drink. Do you know about it?"
"I don't know. Zihe doesn't like me to care about him. He won't tell me when he drinks. Moreover, I don't live with him, so I can't watch him every day. By the way, doesn't Ma Xiaolin know that he lives with Ma Xiaolin? "
"Ma Xiaolin knows that he drinks, but she doesn't know who he goes out with."
"Hmph, I told you that this woman doesn't care about my son at all. If it were me, I would definitely ask who he drinks with, where he goes, and what time he comes back. Isn't that the most basic thing to do? "
"That's true. If you were there that day, our investigation would be much easier." Han Bin agreed verbally, but in his heart, he thought, 'No wonder Chen Zihe thinks you're too nosy. It would be strange if he told you.'
"I know all of my son's close friends. He probably drank with them. Lei Zi, Long Bao, Er Mao Zi, and Da Wo Zi. These four are close to him, and they like to call him by his name at the banquet. "
"Do you know the real names of these four people? Or their home addresses? "
"This … I really haven't asked around. I can know them if I see them, but I don't know them well. My son has never taken me out for dinner. Oh, Ma Xiaolin should know that my son sometimes takes her out with him. She might know those people. "
"I know. I'll ask her."
After that, Han Bin left a business card and left with his team.
It was already 11 pm when he returned to the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Han Bin held a simple case summary meeting.
However, there were too few clues in the case, and there was not much to discuss. He could only wait for the test report from the technical department and the forensics department.
When Han Bin got home, it was already 12 pm.
Wang Ting was still awake. She was sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for him.
"You're back. Are you hungry? Do you want me to make you a bowl of instant noodles?"
"No, thanks. I ate some meat tonight. I'm not hungry yet."
"Then I'll go peel an apple for you."
"Cut an orange."
"Okay."
Han Bin went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out, Wang Ting had already cut the orange.
Han Bin picked up the orange and took a bite. "It tastes good. Tingting, try it too."
Wang Ting shook her head. "I'm going to brush my teeth."
"Where's Qianqian?"
"She's home. We just had a video call. That little girl looked quite excited."
Han Bin smiled. "Although Qianqian is a police officer, she's just an internal worker. She rarely goes out to the field, let alone to a murder scene."
"Was that person really poisoned to death?"
"From the current clues, it's very likely that he was poisoned to death."
"There were so many people in the restaurant. Why was he the only one poisoned to death? Also, his wife who was eating at the same table was fine. Isn't that strange?"
"The woman named Ma Xiaolin and the deceased have not registered their marriage. Strictly speaking, they are just boyfriend and girlfriend. She is indeed a big suspect. We've already detained her for the time being."
Wang Ting's eyes widened. She leaned forward. "They were eating at the same table. How could Ma Xiaolin poison the other person and still be fine? And isn't she afraid of being suspected by the police? "
Han Bin said, "You have a lot of questions. I was afraid that you would be scared, so I didn't dare to mention what happened today."
"Pfft, I'm not that timid."
Han Bin smiled. "Go to bed early. I'll tell you everything when the case is solved."
…
The next morning.
Han Bin went to the captain's office to report the situation after arriving at the police station.
The case summary meeting was delayed until 10: 30 in the morning. The reason why it was delayed was to wait for the test reports from the technical and forensic departments.
10: 30.
The summary meeting was held in the conference room on the fourth floor.
Ding Xifeng glanced at the conference room and said, "Okay, everyone from all departments is here. Let's start the meeting."
"Han Bin has already reported to me about the Wanda Mall case yesterday, and I have a basic understanding of the situation. Food safety is a big issue that concerns the health and safety of every citizen in Qingdao. The victim died in the mall's restaurant. It's conceivable that this case will have a huge impact on the food and beverage industry. This case must be solved quickly and strictly to minimize the impact of the case.
During the process of solving the case, we also found two other illegal acts. The first is that the man named Han Shaokang was carrying knockout drugs. This problem must be paid enough attention to. Not only do we have to deal with Han Shaokang, but we also have to find out his purchase channel to prevent this harmful drug from entering the market again.
The second illegal act is Jiujiang Barbecue Restaurant. This barbecue restaurant used lamb with lean meat extract, and after the police seized the ingredients, they still dared to steal sealed evidence. This illegal act has affected the investigation of the case, and we must also investigate it to the end and strictly investigate it.
Of course, we have to prioritize these two cases. I will arrange for other departments to handle these two cases, and your Squadron Two will continue to investigate the poisoning case. If you have any opinions about my arrangements, feel free to voice them out. "
Naturally, the people of Squadron Two wouldn't refute him.
Han Bin said, "Captain, we fully support your decision."
"Okay then, let's talk about the latest developments in the poisoning case …"
